E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 1 ] MX7 Tecton™ Battery Charger User Guide
Cautions and Warnings
Battery Charger
l There is a risk of explosion if the MX7 Tecton Li-Ion battery in the charging well is replaced by an incorrect type. Other
batteries or battery packs may burst causing injury or property damage.
l Do not insert any other type of Li-Ion battery in the MX7 Tecton battery charging well.
l Do not allow cleaning agents of any kind to contact the battery charging contacts; they may be damaged. If necessary,
clean them with a soft-bristle, dry brush or compressed air.
l Disconnect the charger from AC power by pulling the plug; not the cord.
l Use care when inserting battery. Do not "slam" or slide the battery into the pocket, this could damage the charger.
l Keep dirt and foreign objects out of the battery pocket. Do not short circuit any of the contacts in the battery pocket, this
could result in injury or property damage.
l Do not disassemble or perform modifications to the charger. There are no user serviceable components in the charger.
Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
l Dispose of used Li-Ion batteries according to the instructions for the type of battery.
l When not in use, lay the battery pack contact-side up in a protected environment.
l Do not store the Li-Ion battery pack in direct sunlight or anywhere the battery pack cannot cool down.
l If the Li-Ion battery pack is hot after removal from the MX7 Tecton, allow it to cool at room temperature or in a cool air
stream before placing it in the charger.
l Do not dispose of Li-Ion batteries into a fire. Burning will generate hazardous vapors and may cause the battery to
explode. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury from inhalation of vapors or burns from flying debris.
l Do not immerse Li-Ion batteries in water or any other liquid. If batteries are immersed, contact LXE.
l Do not disassemble or perform modifications to the battery. There are no user serviceable components in the battery.
l Do not place the Li-Ion battery into a pocket or toolbox with conductive objects (coins, keys, tools, etc.). A Li-Ion battery
placed on damp ground or grass could be electrically shorted.
l Do not store Li-Ion batteries above 140°F (60°C) for extended periods.
l Failure to observe these warnings could result in injury or damage to the battery from rapid discharge of energy or
battery overheating.
l Electrolyte Burns.Be careful when handling batteries. If a battery is broken or shows signs of leakage do not attempt to
charge it. Dispose of it! Lead and Nickel-based cells contain a chemical solution that burns skin, eyes, etc. Leakage
from cells is the only possible way for such exposure to occur. In this event, rinse the affected area thoroughly with
water. If the solution contacts the eyes, get immediate medical attention.
l Electrical Burns. Batteries are capable of delivering high currents when accidentally shorted. Accidental shorting can
occur when contact is made with jewelry, metal surfaces, conductive tools, etc., making the objects very hot. Never
place a charged battery in a pocket or case with keys, coins, or other metal objects.

E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 6 ] MX7 Tecton™ Battery Charger User Guide
Charging Batteries
New batteries should be charged fully before first use. The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery pack can vary
significantly depending on the discharge current and the environment in which it is used.
When a battery is placed in a charging pocket, the multi-charger begins charging the battery. There is a slight delay while the
multi-charger evaluates the condition of the battery (ambient temperature, remaining charge, etc.) before charging begins.
As with all batteries, expect to see a reduction in the total number of operations a fully charged battery pack can deliver as it
ages. When the battery reaches end-of-life, it must be replaced.
Battery packs do not need to be fully discharged between charge cycles.
While charging, the charger and battery pack will generate enough heat to feel warm. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 7 ] MX7 Tecton™ Battery Charger User Guide
Inserting a Battery into the Charging Pocket
Inserting a Battery into the Charging Pocket
Caution! It is important that battery packs are inserted into the charging pocket correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly could

Introduction
The MX7 Tecton uses a Lithium-Ion 2200 mAh or 1250mAh battery. Minimum battery life is 500 charge/discharge cycles
before replacement.
Hand held devices and body worn devices use Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) main battery packs that are lightweight and relatively
small. Vehicle mounted mobile devices and vehicle mounted cradles are powered by the vehicle battery.
The main battery is a removable battery (or battery pack) that can be charged in the device using a charging cradle or a plug-in
AC adapter. The battery can also be removed from the mobile device and charged using a battery charger. The main battery
powers the mobile device, recharges the internal battery and provides normal operation.
Note: This section uses the term backup battery to refer to the permanent internal battery. Extra main battery packs
kept as backup for damaged or depleted main batteries are referred to as “spare batteries.
The permanent internal battery is not user-serviceable. The internal battery is recharged by drawing power from the main
battery pack or, in the case of the vehicle mounted devices, from vehicle power. The internal battery is designed to save time,
date and BIOS setup information in the event of a main battery power failure.
Battery Chargers and Analyzers
LXE offers several configurations of chargers, charger/analyzers and powered docking stations for Li-Ion batteries. Each
battery station is pre-configured with the specific software and battery adapter designed solely for:
1. the type of battery to be maintained and
2. the mAh rating of the battery.
Do not attempt to insert an incorrect battery into the charging well of a battery charger or cradle designed for a different battery.
Damage to the battery, the battery charger or the cradle may result.
The MX7 Tecton desktop cradle has a spare battery charging bay. When the cradle is connected to AC power and the MX7
Tecton is inserted in the cradle, both batteries are recharged at the same time. The MX7 Tecton does not have to be in the
docking bay while the spare battery is recharging. Complete information is available in the MX7 Tecton Cradle Reference
Guide
All LXE table-top battery chargers are powered by AC power. Most LXE battery chargers can hold more than one battery at a
time.
New Batteries and Stand Loss
When you receive new Li-Ion batteries from LXE, you should charge the batteries prior to use. All batteries should be fully
charged before storage. Periodically recharge batteries in long term storage.
Memory effect occurs when batteries are recharged before they are fully discharged. Li-Ion batteries will continue to recharge
to full capacity without being affected by “memory effect". Li-Ion batteries do not require conditioning. Conditioning shortens a
Li-Ion battery’s life.
Li-Ion batteries contain a gas gauge that monitors battery capacity and reports this to the MX7 Tecton and the battery charger.
The gas gauge is displayed in the MX7 Tecton system tray and shows four levels of charge -- 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%. At a
point below 25%, the MX7 Tecton system status LED will turn red and the gas gauge icon will turn red indicating the main
battery is low.
E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 13 ] MX7 Tecton Battery Charger User Guide
Extending Battery Life
Extending Battery Life
The life and capacity of a Lithium Ion battery pack can vary significantly depending on the discharge current and the
environment in which it is used. Li-Ion battery packs do not need to be fully discharged between charge cycles.
Regardless of the type of battery being used, LXE offers the following suggestions for extending battery life:
l Immediately replace batteries in LXE devices with the appropriate, fully charged battery when LXE equipment battery
warnings are issued, heard or displayed.
l Fully charge a new battery before using.
l Remove batteries from unused units or units that will be unused longer than a day.
l Place discharged batteries in battery chargers as soon as possible.
l Store batteries in locations that maintain an ambient temperature of approximately 2C (77°F).
l Recycle defective, shorted or end-of-life batteries.
l Any Lithium-Ion battery that is over a year old is considered an old battery.
l Replace all batteries more than a year old with new batteries.
How To Determine Age of the Battery
1. Year the battery was shipped from LXE. If the number is less than the current year (assumed to be 2010 for the pur-
poses of this example) the assumption is the year is 200x. If the number is equal to or greater than the current year, the
assumption is the year is 201x.
2. The month the battery was shipped from LXE.
To determine the age of the battery, check the LXE ship date on one side of the battery. The ship date is indelibly marked and
shows the year and the month that the battery was shipped. The first field (labeled 1-0) is the year the battery was shipped. The
second field (labeled J, F, M, A, etc.) is the month. So if the 8 and the F are punched out, the battery was shipped in February of
2008.
To determine the actual shipping date, use the serial number on the battery label to determine the ship date. Contact your LXE
representative for assistance.
E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 14 ] MX7 Tecton Battery Charger User Guide
Self-Discharge
Self-Discharge
Batteries should be stored at temperatures close to 25°C (77°F) because higher temperatures cause batteries to self discharge
faster than lower temperatures.
All batteries begin self-discharging after receiving a charge. The rate at which the battery self discharges depends on the
battery construction, temperature, initial capacity of the battery, and the amount of time that has passed since the battery was
charged.
Note: Temperatures significantly above 25ºC (77ºF) increase the self-discharge rate of all batteries.
E-EQ-MX7TCHGROG-A [ 15 ] MX7 Tecton Battery Charger User Guide
Maintenance Routine
Maintenance Routine
Managing your batteries with a battery maintenance routine is intended to ensure:
l You get as much battery life as you can.
l You need fewer batteries per shift.
l Every shift has fully charged batteries.
l There is a battery slot on the charger for each battery at the end of every shift.
l All unused batteries are placed in a charger at the end of every shift.
l The mobile device’s backup battery has sufficient capacity to maintain the device, if the main battery fails, until a fully
charged main battery can be installed.
As with all batteries, expect to see a reduction in the total number of operations a fully charged battery pack can deliver as it
ages. When the battery reaches end-of-life, it must be replaced.
Note: It is not necessary to place unused spare batteries in chargers; lay the battery pack contact-side up in a protected
environment.
Label the Batteries
Label batteries with an identification number, symbol, or color. Base the identification scheme on the type of equipment that
uses the battery, the type of battery (NiCd, Li-Ion) and, if necessary, the specific charger that accepts the battery type.
The outside of the battery charger may look the same, but the internal programming and algorithms, as well as the charger cup
configuration, are the factors that determine the type of battery that can be maintained in each particular battery
charger/analyzer.
Place a blank label, such as a mailing label, on the battery for recording the date and capacity reading (spare batteries too). Do
not cover the battery’s charging terminals with the label. Record on the battery the date and capacity reading each time it is
analyzed, if possible.
Note: You may use a log sheet instead of a label for tracking capacity readings. However, the labels ensure that the
necessary information concerning each battery is always with that battery.
A Simple Battery Usage Routine
A color coding routine used for a large or small operation that uses the same kind of battery in all mobile devices:
1. Color code all batteries by shift:
1. Shift 1 Blue
2. Shift 2 Red
3. Shift 3 Green
2. Charge all batteries according to color. For example, all blue coded batteries should be charged during shifts 2 and 3.
3. Users place all used batteries into battery chargers at the end of every shift.
4. Track battery capacity readings by recording the date of last charge for each battery on the label (or log sheet).
